Since September 2024, drivers across the Palm Beach County-area (561) dialing region have brought us more than 258 defective-vehicle inquiries, and we have taken on 119+ of those claims — Chevrolet is the make we see most.† If a warranty defect on your vehicle has survived repeated repair attempts, Florida’s Lemon Law can force a repurchase or replacement.

At a Glance
What Florida’s Lemon Law provides
Florida’s Lemon Law is chapter 681 of the Florida Statutes, the Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act; the state Attorney General administers its arbitration program.
Coverage extends to new and demonstrator vehicles purchased or leased in Florida for personal, family, or household use when the nonconformity is first reported within 24 months of delivery.
3 repair attempts for one defect (plus a final chance after written notice) — or 30 days cumulatively out of service, 60 for an RV, following the required written notice.
Either the manufacturer buys the vehicle back — price plus charges, less a use offset — or supplies an acceptable replacement.
How the process works for Boca Raton drivers
- Save the paperwork
Every repair order is evidence: the date, what you reported, what the dealer did, and how long the vehicle sat. Nothing matters more to a claim.
- Reach the presumption
Once the same defect has been in three times — or the vehicle has been down 15 or more days in total — the statute’s notice stage opens.
- Give the final chance
§ 681.104 requires a written Motor Vehicle Defect Notification, giving the manufacturer one last opportunity to cure.
- Let us take it from there
We build the file, handle every exchange with the manufacturer, and take the claim through the AG’s arbitration program when the statute calls for it.
- Get resolved
The end point is a buyback, a replacement, or a negotiated settlement — and in successful actions the manufacturer pays the reasonable attorney’s fees.¶

Boca Raton FAQ
Lemon Law Questions Boca Raton Drivers Ask
Do I need to keep all repair records?
Yes. Repair orders provide the evidence of the defect and of the manufacturer’s attempts to fix it. Keep the dates, descriptions of each issue, and the outcome of every visit — including “no fault found” visits. That documented history is what a lemon law claim is built on.
Do I qualify under the Florida Lemon Law in Boca Raton?
Qualification turns on two things: the vehicle was bought or leased new (or as a demonstrator) in Florida for personal, family, or household use, and the warranty defect was first reported inside the 24-month Lemon Law rights period. Boca Raton and Palm Beach County drivers follow the same statewide rules.

Do I have to arbitrate before going to court?
Usually. Florida’s scheme routes claims through the manufacturer’s certified dispute program, where one exists, and/or the Florida New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board before a court action may be filed.

Does the Florida Lemon Law cover used cars?
Chapter 681 covers new and demonstrator vehicles. A used vehicle usually falls outside the Lemon Law, but claims may still exist under the manufacturer’s remaining warranty, the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, or Florida’s UCC warranty provisions.

What is Florida’s Lemon Law?
Florida’s Lemon Law is the Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act, Fla. Stat. ch. 681. When a new or demonstrator vehicle has a nonconformity — a defect substantially impairing use, value, or safety — that survives a reasonable number of repair attempts, the manufacturer must repurchase or replace it. The Florida Attorney General’s Lemon Law Arbitration Program handles disputes.
Source: Fla. Stat. ch. 681
What is the deadline for a Florida lemon law claim?
Two clocks matter: the nonconformity must be reported inside the 24-month rights period, and arbitration generally must be requested no later than 60 days after that period ends. Moving early keeps both open.
